From Goddess to God

How did Western Civilization come to be based on a patriarchal model? Since the 1960's feminist movement, writers have taken up the study of women and religion and how women became subjugated, ending with three monotheist religions based on a male deity. Karen Garst looks at how this affects the role of women and men today. Ms. Garst holds a Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin. She has worked as a field representative for the Oregon Federation of Teachers and has served as executive director of the Oregon State Bar. She is compiling a book of essays by women atheists.
